Yesterday

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

yesterday is a long way away away away

your parenting won’t define me

your legacy won’t be mine

it’s ashes and dust

your false religion with it’s asceptic speech

no cursing but much hating

a strong word on immodesty and a strong hand coming at me

it’s ashes and dust

it’s a long way away away away

I will have my day

a life I live and define Faith differently

I reject religious dogma

I will think and question and choose

regard all with human dignity and sanctity

see myself not in the lens of yesterday’s child

but as a woman, equal to a man, with a strong voice

regarding kindness, loyalty and courage as the measure of a good life

I am a longtime lover of words, writing, reading. I am happily married with three children who are tip toeing with adulthood. I grew up in a musical home and was taught piano and in turn all my kids play the piano, and two of them, as well as my husband, are gifted vocalists. We love to make music and my copy of Les Miserables is falling apart from years of beautiful memories around the piano. Chopin and Jim Brickman feel like old friends I can't live without. I live in the beautiful city Denver where I am a nurse.
